A mistep by Boyle

Rating: 4/10 (26 July 2003)

Highly praised films rarely live up to their hype. This maxim holds true with the latest from Boyle. A toss off idea culled from every horror movie you've ever seen. Interesting use of DV, but a lugubrious bore that I felt like walking out of after 40 minutes. Boyle started off so promisingly. I still maintain that he is a great visual director. Someone needs to get him a great script!
